How are you computing your transaction fees? Is it satoshi per byte or are you converting the transaction fee to your fiat currency. If you are doing the second then you are doing it wrong. You will see really notice that a $3 transaction before is now almost $10 that is because the price of bitcoin is going high. What you should always remember taht bitcoin is the currency and don't convert the fees into your fiat.
That would be in a perfect world. Aren't we still valuing BTC based on USD (and other FIATs) and celebrate when it crosses each milestone?
